Barcelona still interested in Thiago Alcantara

Spanish giants Barcelona remain hot on the trail of Bayern Munich playmaker Thiago Alcantara, Bild can reveal.

The Catalans surprisingly decided to let the talented midfielder move to Allianz Arena back in July 2013 and they have clearly regretted the decision.

Barcelona have since made several attempts to bring Thiago back to Camp Nou, and they are pondering a fresh assault.

However, Bayern Munich have no intention of selling their star player as witnessed by the comments from sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

“Thiago only extended his contract until June 2021 last year. He is a leader for us. I am not fazed by the transfer talk at all,” Salihamidzic told Bild.

Since arriving in a €25 million deal, Thiago has produced 21 goals and 23 assists in 136 competitive appearances for the Bavarians.
